Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I enjoyed my 6 days there. I was a solo female tourist. The staff always went beyond to meet my needs. The electric sockets in Indonesia are unique in that they are round and sunken. So my square universal plug did not fit. Their engineering quickly found a spare conversion socket for me to use. They were happy to fill up my water bottle with ice whenever I asked. Always with a friendly smile.
Breakfast became my favourite meal. They have an Indonesian buffet every morning. So I had the opportunity to try various local foods. There is a supermarket a 3 minute walk for snacks etc.
My only issue was that it was a 20k to 30k grab taxi ride to the city tourist sites. Although for tours outside of Jogya the operators picked me up from the hotel. Trendy Prawirotanam though is only a short walk or @ 10k taxi ride. Some nice / western type restaurants there.
The property itself is slightly aging. But adequate. I missed having a fridge in the room mostly so I could have cool drinking water. There is no iron either. But I asked for one and was quickly sent one.
They seem to have many tour groups staying overnight. Sometimes I found them to be a little noisy in the corridors late at night and early in the morning. Also there is a mosque close-by that has a call to prayer at 3am (short - could sleep through) and 4am (long. I couldn't sleep through).
Overall a very pleasant stay. I would stay again and recommend it. Very good value for money.
